National Democratic Force

The National Democratic Force (NDF) is a social liberal political party in Burma that was founded in 2010. The party was founded by former National League for Democracy members who sought to contest the 2010 general election, and the party adopted the peasant bamboo hat as a symbol, stealing the symbol from the NLD. The party sought to promote individual freedoms and a market economy with state regulation, and it also supported civil and human rights and believed that ethnic issues should be resolved in the same manner as democracy and human rights issues.
